Hello everyone, I'm Mark. Welcome back to Mark Time.
Kursk, Germany, has been invaded by the Russian army for three weeks.
Russia's response is not very good.
On the one hand, it continues to maintain the attack on Udon-Donbass.
On the other hand, it sends troops to Kursk from the front lines,
such as Kharkov and Crimea, which are not the most advanced,
to blockade the Russian army.
At the same time, as a retaliation,
on May 26, Germany launched the most fierce air strike against Ukraine this year.
In addition, on the morning of August 25 in the Middle East,
Israel had a large-scale conflict with the Lebanese People's Liberation Army.
Israel launched a manned air strike against the People's Liberation Army.
After that, the People's Liberation Army also launched rockets and drones
The People's Liberation Army said in a statement
that this was only the first phase of the counterattack
against the senior commander Shukur,
who was assassinated on July 30.
However, both sides are currently looking forward to avoiding conflict deterioration,
but also warn that there may be more attacks.
Israeli Foreign Minister Katsy said
that the United States does not seek a full-scale war.
The political party and Israel express to each other
that they do not want the situation to deteriorate further.
The point is that both sides have conveyed the message.
According to the Ukrainian war report,
on August 26, the Ukrainian radar network
tracked and identified 236 Russian air targets,
including 127 missiles and 109 suicide drones.
The Ukrainian army shot down 201 of them,
including 102 missiles and 99 suicide drones.
Among the missiles shot down,
there was a Bishkek air-to-air missile,
an Iskander-M or KN-23 air-to-air missile,
and a KH-R2 hypersonic missile.
In addition, there were 99 KH-101 air-to-air missiles,
a Khojin air-to-air missile,
and a KH-59-69 air-to-ground missile.
In addition, in the air that day,
a Russian suicide drone also invaded Poland's airspace.
25 kilometers deep,
it crashed near the border town.
According to the media,
the Russian army's large-scale long-range attack on Ukraine
cost about $1.26 billion.
Among them, the total cost of the Russian-launched
KH-101 air-to-air missile was $1 billion,
and the total cost of the Khojin air-to-air missile was $1.82 billion.
According to the relevant war reports issued by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry,
the Ukrainian air-to-air missile and suicide drone
launched by the Russian army
have better interception effects,
but the interception effect of various ballistic missiles
and hypersonic missiles is relatively poor.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry did not disclose more information about this.
However, because Zelensky once said
that he sent two sets of patriotic air defense systems to Kursk,
so Ukraine's domestic air defense capabilities should be weakened.
I think this is also the reason why Russia
launched large-scale air strikes during this period.
However, Russia has been preparing for so long,
and can only launch 100 missiles.
It can be seen that Russia does not have much ammunition.
After continuous war consumption,
the capacity of new missiles is not enough to replenish ammunition.
The Russian Defense Ministry also issued a statement
admitting that the target of this large-scale air strike
is the portable power station in many regions of Ukraine,
as well as the natural gas compression base
of Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Kharkov.
In addition, it also attacked the Ukrainian air base
in Kiev and Dnipro,
where there are air defense weapons provided to Ukraine by the West.
Because many portable facilities were attacked,
the Ukrainian state power company was forced to take emergency power outages
to stabilize the power system.
According to the official news released by the Ukrainian government,
many Ukrainian civilians were killed.
When the air strike took place,
Ukrainian civilians in the related areas entered the asylum.
More than 50,000 people hid in the subway in Kiev.
And before this air strike,
Russia deliberately launched an Iskander-M ballistic missile
and hit the Blue Stone Hotel in Tramatorsk.
This hotel is where foreign reporters landed.
According to Reuters,
the attack caused many casualties to the Reuters press team.
These reporters belong to different countries.
After the air strike on the 26th,
Ukrainian President Zelensky made a speech
calling on Western supporters
to hand over the air defense system to Ukraine in time
and limit the use of UAVs,
so that Ukrainian troops can use Western missiles
to hit Russian internal targets.
Zelensky also said
he would take revenge on this air strike.
Regarding our response to Russia,
we are preparing for actions in F-16
and Kursk regions.
John Kirby,
of the White House National Security Council,
at the press conference on August 26,
responded to the Russian military's response
to Ukraine's air strike.
He said
the U.S. government's policy
on the use of UAVs
has not changed.
The U.S. government is ready to provide Ukraine
with energy equipment
to restore the damaged facilities
and strengthen the energy network.
In this air strike,
the Russian Air Force launched
11 Tu-95MS strategic bombers
and KH-101 anti-aircraft missiles
They came from three air bases.
The Ukrainian military has been launching
suicide drones to attack
Russian air bases with strategic bombers,
but the effect is not obvious.
Russian air bases with Su-34
front-line bombers
often detonate
after a drone strike.
This may be related to the Russian Air Force's
strengthening of air defense protection
against strategic bomber bases.
It is likely that
as soon as the Russian Air Force
was detected,
the Ukrainian military launched
a suicide drone
at the Angus Air Base.
However, this suicide drone
did not hit the base,
but the Saratov high-rise building.
This high-rise building
is about 12 kilometers
from the Angus Air Base.
This base is the main base
of Russian Tu-160 and Tu-95MS strategic bombers.
The Russian network platform
says that this high-rise building
has Russian Air Force,
Air Force,
Commander and other leaders
and respected pilots.
The video shows
at least two Ukrainian drones
hitting this high-rise building.
In addition, the Ukrainian military
also launched suicide drones
to attack the largest oil refinery
in Russia, the Omsk Oil Refinery.
This refinery's
crude oil processing device
had a strong explosion
and was damaged and stopped operating.
On August 24,
Zelensky announced
that the suicide drone
had successfully entered the battlefield
and injured the Russian military.
Interestingly,
this new weapon
is named after
a traditional Ukrainian
original bread,
Parianicha.
Let's call it
the original bread drone missile.
The original bread is a long-range drone
powered by a turbine jet engine.
It does not have a landing gear,
but it can be placed on a slide
and take off from the ground.
Because it uses a jet engine,
it flies much faster
than a propeller drone.
According to reports,
the speed can reach 500 kilometers.
According to reports,
its strike range
covers about 20 Russian military airports,
so it can be estimated
that its range can reach
600 to 700 kilometers.
It can completely cover Moscow.
It is not yet clear
how much weight it can carry.
According to the video,
its size is not large,
and its weight should not exceed
100 kilograms.
If Ukraine can develop
a larger drone based on this,
it is basically the same
as a propeller drone.
Although the day before
Zelensky announced the launch of
the original bread,
Russia's Dnepropetrovsk
was attacked by Ukrainian drones.
The outside world speculates
that this is the first battle
of the original bread drone missile.
However, Ukraine's strategic industry minister
said that the original bread
has not yet been used in Russia.
Because Western countries
restrict Ukraine from using
the long-range weapons they provide
Ukraine has been trying to develop
its own long-range weapons.
It used to use traditional long-range drones
to attack Russian targets,
such as Orenia Airport,
which is about 1,800 kilometers
from the border.
The development speed of the original bread
is very fast,
and it only takes a year and a half
to start production.
The news about the existence
of the original bread drone
has been circulating for some time.
have appeared on Ukrainian
and Russian social media,
but almost all technical details
have been classified as confidential
and not public.
I believe that Ukraine will
gain more long-range
countermeasures this year,
including the original bread.
Unlike the past two years
of passive beating in winter,
this winter Ukraine
may also use its own way
to control its own body
to bomb Russian electricity
and energy infrastructure.
Russia does not have any
anti-aircraft systems
to protect these infrastructure.
Russia's winter is colder
than Ukraine,
so the Russians may taste
the bitter cold this winter.
Finally,
let's talk about the conflict in the Middle East.
Around 4.30 a.m. on August 25,
Israeli air forces launched
hundreds of fighter jets
and launched airstrikes
on the Libyan military target
attacking more than
40 Israeli missile and drone launch sites.
Israeli military said that
the air strike destroyed
thousands of Israeli rocket
and drone launchers,
most of which aimed at
the northern part of Israel,
and some aimed at the central part of Israel.
According to Israel,
they still launched
missiles and drones
as planned.
Israel launched
about 320 missiles
and a series of drones
and hit 11 military targets.
This is the first stage of retaliation
against Israel's assassination
of Israeli senior military commander
but did not plan to attack further.
The Israeli military said
that about 200 missiles
were launched from Lebanon to Israel.
Overall, Israel did not suffer
any substantial losses,
but the People's Liberation Army
also had an explanation.
The point is that the two sides
have already conveyed the message.
Since July 31,
Hamas political leader Hania
was assassinated in Tehran,
Iran has been claiming
to retaliate against Israel,
but has not done so.
Iran did not retaliate against
Israel quickly,
probably because Iran
wanted to ensure that
the retaliation action
achieved the ideal effect
and showed its deterrence
to Israel while
avoiding a large-scale war
Because in April this year,
in Iran's retaliation
against Israel's attack
on the Iranian Embassy in Syria,
Israel, the United States,
and the United Kingdom
intercepted most of the missiles
and drones launched by Iran,
so that Iran's attack
basically did not pose any threat
but exposed Iran's true strength.
In addition, U.S. military pressure
is also a factor that
Iran needs to consider.
U.S. aircraft carrier strike group
has been deployed in the Middle East
U.S. 12 F-22 fighter jets
have also arrived in the Middle East
In addition,
Zorya cruise missile nuclear submarine
and Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group
are also heading to this area
to show U.S. military strength
and issue a warning to Iran
I think after Iran's balance of power
it is more appropriate for the Pearl Party
to strike Israel first
The Pearl Party has a large number
of missiles, drones, and missiles
There are also views that Iran
will not launch a hot war in the short term
but will continue to pressure Israel
in the form of delaying retaliation
The purpose is to stop Israel's military operations
in Gaza and protect Hamas
so that Hamas is completely eliminated
What are your views on this?
